Hi there, I finally managed to get it working. I haven't got a clue how it has started working but it has. I uninstalled PHP, completely removed everything to do with PHP5 from my server, removed IIS, re-installed IIS, downloaded the two package files, and the installation file. Extracted the two package files into PHP folder, and then ran the installer, bingo it works without a problem. How I have not got a clue!! But it does.

It works fine. No problem at all! Note that I've installed .NET framework too and .NET is working alongside PHP5 at office (under win2000, IIS5). At home I have IIS6 (windows 2003 server) and PHP 4.3.8. Works fine. No problem at all! I don't know what your problem really is: Please give me more details / error messages / etc. you are having so that we can solve the problem. Well personally I always install PHP through the installer! Just double-click and follow the instructions... installation completes and PHP works perfectly right! I never got any problem before! For now I'll suggest a few points: 1. uninstall everything (I mean PHP stuffs) 2. if not done already, download PHP installer + the binary package (some DLLs will be needed to run other modules - e.g. mySQL, etc) 3. install through the installer. 4. first see whether the web server is running (run a simple html page). Then try to run a simple PHP page ( for e.g. <?php phpinfo() ?> ). Note the error(s) If possible, please send me the error messages today itself before 15hrs00 (it's about 10:55 now) - I gonna leave office at 16hrs00 today and will be back on Monday only! Information to be useful for me: - are you running http://localhost/ or what ? - where have you install php ? In "c:\php\" ? where is php.ini found ? - what are listed in the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (file name is "host") - if not present, should create one. I'll tell you what to put in the file. - Do your machine has an IP address (private or public) ? Under IIS console when you list its properties, under the "Website" tab what do you have ? - Any other information: e.g. when installing PHP thr' the installer, does it ask you to modify php.ini (cgi-redirect or something like that)? gimme the exact message on the window! Please be quick ! Or wait until Monday... Regards, Nadim p.s.: bbnad@xxxxxxxxxxx is you wanna contact be thr' MSN ! I'll be online until 16hrs00 today. -----Message d'origine----- De : Kevin Crookes [mailto:kevin.crookes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Envoye : jeudi 9 septembre 2004 22:48 A : 'Nadim Attari' Objet : RE: Re: PHP 5.0.1 Manual/Automatic Install Yeo had a look at those sites, and I am still getting the same problem. Although the wampserver looked interesting but I really need this to be running under IIS6. Any other ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Nadim Attari [mailto:nadim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 09 September 2004 09:33 To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: PHP 5.0.1 Manual/Automatic Install Dunno whether it gonna help... but a try costs nothing! http://dedntfaq.hostingsupport.com/iis6_php_install.txt http://www.en.wampserver.com/ Nadim Attari -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
